02 / A change worth keeping

Same soul.
New story.

A fresh fabric. A carefully rebuilt seat. All the character you fell in love with, ready to be enjoyed again.

Slide to see the difference

01 / 08

The wingback, renewed

A softer shade. The same timeless shape.

Let’s reimagine your furniture

Look a little closer

The change you see.
The care behind it.

01

A familiar shape.

The frame and proportions can be the very things you love. A new fabric lets you see them afresh.

02

A different character.

Colour, texture and pattern can give the same furniture an entirely different place in a room.

03

Your starting point.

These pieces are inspiration. Your own furniture, its condition and your chosen finish will shape the work.
